<h1>XY graph and 3D curve dialog</h1>

<p>The XY graph and 3D curve dialog is part of the <a href="graphPropertiesDialog.htm">graph properties</a>. The dialog displays the  settings and parameters related to XY graphs or 3D curves of the last selected <a href="graphs.htm">graph object</a>.

<li><strong>Add new curve</strong>: allows adding a new XY graph or 3D curve item. The new item will be displayed in the dialog's list, and its name can be edited. Clicking the <strong>Add new curve</strong> button opens following dialog:</li>

<li class=tabTab><strong>X- / Y- / Z-value = </strong>: allows specifying a data stream for each one of the  3 (or 2 in case of an XY graph) curve dimensions. Only data streams that are being listed in the <strong>data stream recording list</strong> can be selected. Refer to the <a href="graphPropertiesDialog.htm">graph properties</a> for more details.</li>


<br>
<li><strong>Curve is visible</strong>: determines whether the selected curve will be visible.<br>
</li>

<li><strong>Link points</strong>: determines whether individual (x,y) or (x,y,z) values of the selected curve will be linked with a line.<br>
</li>

<li><strong>Display label</strong>: determines whether the selected curve's label will be visible.
</li>

<li><strong>Adjust color</strong>: allows adjusting the color of the selected curve.
</li>


<li><strong>Duplicate to static</strong>: when a curve is selected, clicking this button will duplicate the curve as a static curve. Static streams or static curves (displayed as stippled lines) are not modified or cleared when a new simulation is started and are used to compare results from one simulation run to another. Data streams or curves can also be made static by selecting them in a graph view (except for floating views) then clicking [Popup menu --&gt; Add --&gt; Static duplicate of curve]. Static streams or curves can be cleared with the <strong>remove all static streams/curves</strong> button in the <a href="graphPropertiesDialog.htm">graph properties</a> dialog. </li>



<li><strong>Curve always on top</strong>: determines whether the selected curve will always be visible, even if hidden by other objects. This property is only available for 3D curves.<br>
</li>


<li><strong>Relative to graph</strong>: if selected, then the selected curve will be displayed relative to the graph object's reference frame. This property is only available for 3D curves.<br>
</li>

<li><strong>Relative to world</strong>: if selected, then the selected curve will be displayed relative to the absolute reference frame. This property is only available for 3D curves.<br>
</li>

<li><strong>Curve width</strong>: the width of the selected curve. This property is only available for 3D curves.
</li>
